"Wolves evolving speed while deer evolve better agility."
That’s an antagonistic, reciprocal interaction: predator adaptations (faster wolves) select for prey counter-adaptations (more agile deer) and vice versa — a classic evolutionary arms race. By contrast, bees and roses show mutualistic coevolution (not an arms race), and seasonal migration is a life-history/behavioral response, not reciprocal antagonistic evolution.
